It took me 1398 clicks and 78 days to do it.
That works out to a little over 7 cents a click on average, and $1.28 a day.
So Why am I happy? Well for one thing, since the minimum payment is $100 that means I will finally receive a payment. $100 is a nice round number.
But no, the sweet buck twenty five a day I made (that will take another 2 months to get to me) isn't the reason.
I guess the reason it feels good, is because it's a new beginning...
The site in question was a hobby site, made as a one time thing, 3 years ago. After seeing adsense on sites I figured if I threw up a couple ads on this old site, maybe I could make a buck or two..
And it worked. No I'm not breaking the bank, but It's inspiration that you can actually make money doing something you enjoy and working for yourself. I hadn't touched that site in 3 years and it makes a little, so I imagined what Is possible with real consistent hard work...
My only regret is not starting earlier, and not working consistently. I've been a 'part time'
webmaster since 1997. Found spurts of success, but never worked as hard as I could.
I've actually been on Webmasterworld since 2000 , but grew disenchanted (or maybe just lazy) with building sites, and that account is surely long gone from inactivity.
Point being, Since starting again, I'm close to launching 3 new, extremely diverse sites, with ideas brewing for more. Continuing to build and learn as much as possible.
I hope to turn $100 in 78 days into a $100 a month.
Then $100 a week, then $100 a day - and then who knows :)
Maybe some others can share how long it took them to reach those plateaus.
and that is from adsense on 4 pages that have very little traffic.
